Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing (Alright Now, 18.7.1979)

[@SamKnause]

I absolutely love Dire Straits. Mark is so very talented in many areas. When Mark smiles while playing his many guitars it puts a smile on my face as well. I love seeing him enjoy the fruits of his labor. Mark you are loved the world over.

Mark Kopfler, in my opinion the greatest guitarist off all time!

I think so too

[@bobmiller9313]

His 3 finger pickin style is the key

I don't think so, they play oldfashioned rock and the singer/lead guitarist is losing his hair. Nobody will remember them in a few years...

[@deftgio]

I can not count how many times I have listened to the every album of Dire Straits. Their music has been with me during joy, worry, loneliness, excitement. It's more than love at this point.

[@Purple1984Rain]

One of the best toe tapping songs of all time. Mark Knopfler’s fingerpicking skills are unbelievable. That must be why he and Lindsey Buckingham are two my all time favourite guitarist. :)

[@dalecauthen9086]

Mark was so much fun to watch, and still is. One of my favorite guitar players of all time and always as good a song writer and singer as he was a wizard on the 6 string.

[@CochinKerala]

Sultans of Swing played by the King of the Guitar - Mark Knopfler. Mark adds subtle variations in every performance of this iconic song which makes each rendition a unique and thrilling experience.

[@jimwilliams3816]

Grateful to have these old live performances from before Mark started adding lyrics and changing the vocal syncopation. I’ve always liked the original phrasing best for its rythmic balance, as much about the strategic pauses as the rapid fire phrasing. It’s a shame the all the broadcasts from this era seem to skip the third verse. I’m undecided if it’s for time or because “damn” was still verboten on air back then. Probably both.

[@owenmcgee8496]

It's funny how the original single version of Sultans of Swing never got re-released. It sounded slightly rougher than this version, which is slightly rougher than the album version, which is the only studio version that one can generally hear.
